As I recall, the first was "The Dark Reverser" who release a python script for removing DRM from Mobipocket ebooks. Then there was I♥CABBAGES who released DRM removal for Adobe ebooks.
And then there were many others who improved the tools, including decrypting and decoding Amazon's Topaz and decrypting KFX files.
And the people who worked on decrypting Kobo books from the Kobo app.
IIRC, Apprentice Alf set up a blog with explanations and links to places to download the latest version (which was usually whatever fileshare site was still working!)
And Apprentice Harper set up a gihub account with all the versions back to The Dark Reverser's mobipocket script in the history, giving a stable place to find the latest version.
So noDRM is just the latest in a long line of wonderful people who've allowed me to spend a lot of money on ebooks, as I decided way back sometime in the early 2000s to never buy an ebook with DRM I couldn't remove.
I thank them all, and hope that someone will always step up to continue the work.
